A rogue AP is an access point that has been installed in a local network without explicit authorization from a network administrator.

The EAP device can scan all channels to detect all APs in the vicinity of the network. By default, all available APs seen by the EAP are shown on the Untrusted Rogue APs page. Network administrator can take further actions according to this list, for instance take out the rogue AP from the local network.
